Chapter 2. The error list window

Plugins>Error List>Error List displays the error list window. This window is floating by default, but it can be made to dock into the view in the Docking pane of the Global Options dialog box.

Errors are shown in a tree control, with each branch being a file, and each leaf an error. Clicking on a file will open that file; clicking on an error will open the file containing the error and move the caret to its location.

The error reporting API supports two types of errors; genuine errors and warnings. The two are differentiated with different-colored icons in the tree; errors have a red icon, warnings have a yellow one.

For information on keyboard-based navigation of the tree, see Chapter 4.
